neutral third party in a dispute
A person who is not on either side and helps people who have a problem or fight to talk and find an agreement.
Vartosenos šablonas:
[someone] acts as a mediator between [people or groups]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "mediator" with "moderator." A moderator manages a discussion (for example, a panel or online forum), while a mediator helps people in conflict find an agreement. Learners also sometimes think a mediator makes the final decision, but in normal usage a mediator only helps the parties decide for themselves. Another common error is dropping the preposition "between": say "a mediator between the two sides," not "a mediator the two sides."
Sinonimai
arbitrator (An arbitrator usually has the power to make a binding decision, while a mediator only helps the sides reach their own agreement.)
Antonimai
partisan (A partisan strongly supports one side, which is the opposite of a mediator’s expected neutrality.)

person acting as go-between
A person who is in the middle of two people or groups and helps them talk or work together.
Vartosenos šablonas:
[someone] serves as a mediator between [people or groups]
Dažna klaida:
Learners may use "translator" when they mean someone who connects people or groups more generally. A translator mainly changes language; a mediator helps people communicate or cooperate, even if they already share a language. Learners also sometimes think a mediator must be official or professional, but in this broader sense it can be an informal role.
Sinonimai

Antonimai
participant (A participant is directly involved as one side, while a mediator stands in the middle between sides.)
